After the Sickly Beauty Became a Temperamental Noble Consort

Coming soon: After the Fake Heiress Becomes a Princess Sent Away for a Political Marriage. Here is the blurb for this novel: Lin Shushu transmigrates into a fictional dynasty as a troublesome, spoiled consort, bringing along a frail, glasslike body that leaves her gasping after every few steps. Relying on the emperor's favor, the consort dares to make snide remarks to the Empress Dowager and even have an envoy beaten with a cane. She manages to offend everyone in the palace. But the emperor is only nice to her because the Lin family has leverage over him. In truth, he can't stand her. The day the Lin family falls will be the day the consort pays for her sins. Lin Shushu: I can still try to turn things around. When Lin Shushu arrives, the consort has just beaten an envoy and threatened to bring him into the palace as a servant. The envoy, unable to bear the humiliation, makes a scene and demands an apology. But at the banquet, the consort has barely curtsied before she collapses. The next day, word spreads that the consort is gravely ill. It's an emergency! Lin Shushu visits the envoy's residence three times, genuinely hoping to apologize and make amends, but each time she falls ill on the way. The envoy is so frightened that he flees home in the middle of the night, no longer asking for an apology, terrified of being accused of trying to murder the consort. The Empress Dowager loathes her for her arrogance, so Lin Shushu goes to pay her respects every day. Even with a hand warmer in winter, her fingertips remain bright red with cold. Lin Shushu coughs nonstop. "I heard Your Majesty's throat has been dry lately. I made snow pear soup by hand for you. I hope you'll accept it." Then there is the longevity painting for the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the fortune slip for peace from Xiping Temple. Seeing Lin Shushu's face grow paler from fasting and praying for her, the Empress Dowager can't help but wonder: Could she have misunderstood the consort? In private, Lin Shushu rewards her personal maid with a hundred taels of silver. "Thank you for helping make the soup, copy the prayers, and draw the fortune slip." At some point, the consort's reputation turns around, and Si Qi finds his gaze drawn to her against his will. Lin Shushu has been sickly for years, carrying a lingering scent of medicine. Her skin is as white as ice and her waist so slender it can be encircled by one hand. Lin Shushu fears pain and bitterness, but even more, she fears the emperor's wrath and not living to see the next day. She carefully attends the emperor, yet more often than not, she falls ill first. Dizzy and eyes closed, she clutches Si Qi's sleeve and sobs softly. When she wakes, she apologizes in a gentle voice. "It's all because my health is so poor." Her eyes brim with tears, leaving no one able to say a harsh word. Later, the handsome emperor sits by Lin Shushu's bedside as she lies gravely ill just after being made empress. His voice choked with sorrow, he asks, "My empress, how can I nurse you back to health?" [Reading Guide] 1. They are each other's first love. 2.

Coming soon: After the Fake Heiress Becomes a Princess Sent Away for a Political Marriage The fourth daughter of the Ming family, Ming Yao, has skin as smooth as jade, hands as delicate as young shoots, an elegant and refined manner, and knowledge both ancient and modern. Her pipa playing has made her famous throughout the capital. Until one day, it comes out that Ming Yao isn't really a daughter of the Ming family. She is thrown out of the house, and apart from a fifty-year-old rich merchant who wants to take her as a concubine, not one person is willing to help her. She would rather starve or freeze to death, or jump into the moat, than marry an old man old enough to be her father. So Ming Yao really does jump into the moat. But when she opens her eyes again, she has become a princess sent to marry into a foreign tribe. It's said that the princess is to marry into the most savage tribe on the grasslands. Its people eat raw meat, and its chief stands eight feet tall and delights in slaughter. Her maidservant cries in her ear every day, "How will Your Highness survive?" Ming Yao: Maybe I should just die again. As the marriage procession travels deeper into the grasslands, a pack of wolves surrounds them. A tall, burly man appears from nowhere and becomes everyone's savior. Ming Yao is about to thank him when the first thing he says is, "Is this the princess you sent me?" Her future husband speaks Han Chinese quite well, but as the rumors say, he's eight feet tall, fierce-looking, and has a voice like a bell. Ming Yao lives up to expectations. The moment her future husband touches her shoulder, her tears fall like pearls from a broken string and won't stop. Ming Yao: It hurts. Later, Ming Yao marries Di Xiao. His favorite thing to say to her is, "Behave!" At first, Ming Yao is intimidated by his authority. But after hearing it so often that her ears practically grow calluses, she finally loses patience. The next time he tells her to behave, she slaps him on the forehead. Di Xiao's ears turn red, but all he says is the same two words: "Behave!" In Di Xiao's eyes, the wife he won in battle is wonderful in every way. She teaches his people to weave and farm, helps treat their sick cattle and sheep, and even shows them how to travel inland and trade with the Han people. The only problem is that she's much too delicate. She can't stomach the smell of game, can't stay outdoors, and riding a horse rubs her legs raw, leaving her unable to walk for days. Recently, she's been especially outrageous. She won't even let him share her bed, and now she won't let him speak to her either. Di Xiao scowls, but his wife is fiercer than he is. She covers his mouth and bares her teeth. "I told you not to speak!" Theme: Live well no matter what circumstances you find yourself in.
